Hey guys, here's another fanfic I wrote. This one is Naruto, and kinda depressing. Feel warning.
Harsh waves crashed against the smooth rock edges of the island. A light breeze would make the leaves of the cherry blossom trees rustle, and carry the light pink and white flowers with the flow. Soft, green patches of grass grew around the trees and littered the small clearing.
However beautiful; the land had its scars. Holes indented the ground, scorch marks were scattered on the grass and trees, and slashes from a sharp blade littered the trunks of the cherry blossom trees and the earth below.
Two men stood in the center of the destruction. One in an orange and black jumpsuit, the other in a white and blue yukata. The one in blue was wielding a katana, while the orange one had rasengan.
Sasuke Uchiha; user of the sharingan. Naruto Uzumaki; user of rasengan. The two were evenly matched as they went in for their next attack. Naruto prepared rasengan, while Sasuke did the same with chidori. They charged at each other, both aiming to kill. The two jutsus collided with each other and the two shinobi were blasted back.
Sasuke landed on his feel, katana drawn. Naruto did the same, rasengan ready to fire. Sasuke was faster, dodging the rasengan with ease, as did Naruto when Sasuke slashed his sword, but received a breathtaking kick from the raven, sending him into the water.
Cold. That was all Naruto felt as he fell further into the depths of the ocean. He felt pain in his chest from lack of oxygen. As the Uzumaki sunk deeper, the further he drifted away from consciousness. The black spots that were dancing in his vision were multiplying by the second. He knew he only had seconds before darkness took over. He gathered all of the strength he had left, and uttered a single word.
"Sasuke…" As he said that simple, last word, a bubble floated up to the surface, carrying the voice of the Uzumaki with it. Naruto's eyes slowly closed as he fell into unconsciousness.
The Uchiha went to walk the opposite direction, away from where the blonde had fallen, but a voice stopped him in his tracks. The voice was Naruto's. It sounded weak, frail. It even sounded helpless. It was only one word; however it had the power of a chidori to the heart.
Sasuke dropped his katana before running at the water and diving in, in the same spot the blonde had gone under. Sasuke used his chakara to help himself swim faster towards the descending figure of his friend. He grabbed Naruto around the waist and swam back towards the surface.
Upon breaking the surface, Sasuke brought Naruto out of the water first, then himself. He handled his friend with care, laying him gently on the ground. He put his ear to the blonde's chest; listening for a heartbeat. Any sign of life.
Nothing.
As Naruto lay there motionless, Sasuke looked at the pale face of his former team mate with tears that threatened to fall.
He remembered all the times that he and Naruto bonded while on squad seven. Their thrive to always be better than the other made them close. Always training, always competing. He remembered all the times Naruto had tried to bring him back.
He got what he wanted. He killed Itachi a long time ago.
Why didn't I stop then? He asked himself.
Naruto's body was steadily becoming colder as time went by, his skin growing paler.
Sasuke stood and summoned a message scroll, ink, and a brush, and started to write.
I killed Naruto. I'm sorry.
-Sasuke Uchiha
He locked it open and laid it next to him. He took a kunai out of his late, former team mate's weapon pouch.
"I'm sorry… Naruto." The last words Sasuke Uchiha ever spoke before he plunged the knife through his chest and into his heart. As he slipped into darkness, the thought of his friend's last word was still fresh in his mind. His last thought before darkness took over.
"Sasuke…"
Sorry so short but I thought it was good. Anyway, if you liked it, let me know.
